Meet Kat
- your nutritionist in the Northeast
Busy mum of two boys, business owner, lover or food, nature walks, films, podcasts, yoga and body combat. Always striving for balance.
My journey in nutrition started in 2013, when I had to take my health in my own hands. I was stuck in the domino effect of nutrient deficiencies, gut issues, food intolerances and hormone imbalance, which made me periodically bed-bound. I had to take it seriously and I wanted to get it right, so I completed a nutritional therapist course in 2015. My health improved significantly, and, in the meantime, nutrition became my passion. So I decided to get a university level qualification.
Now I hold a BSc(Hons) degree in Human Nutrition I’m registered with the Association for Nutrition, and work as a freelance women’s health nutritionist, helping women like you, to achieve their health goals.
At work
I love…
…connecting and chatting about food and nutrition with people like you. I believe that we all deserve special attention, deep conversations and expert advice.
…being the person who listens to you and hears you. Who gets you, and gets you where you want to be. And we work together, we investigate, analyse, change and adjust until we get there.
In your pace, building on your existing habits.
Why choose an AfN registered nutritionist
Registered nutritionists (RNutr) and registered associate nutritionists (ANutr) hold an accredited degree in nutrition, which sets them apart from other “nutritionists” that don’t have sufficient qualification. Being registered with the Association for Nutrition (AfN) ensures high standards, solid knowledge, up-to-date, evidence based advice and continuous professional development.
How can a nutritionist help
A nutritionist will investigate the root cause of your symptoms and address those through balancing your nutrient intake and adjusting your lifestyle to make you feel great again. The advice will always be personalised, taking your individual situation into consideration. A nutritionist can also refer you to specialist services if needed.
At WholeSoMe
WholeSoMe – what’s in the name
According to the Cambridge dictionary, the word “wholesome” means “good for you, and likely to improve your health”.
In terms of food it also refers to minimally processed and nutritious.
Then I played around with it a little bit and capitalised the letter S and the M to make the “So Me” stand out, referring to the personalised, tailored nature of what I do here at WholeSoMe.
What is a women’s health nutritionist
I specialise in women’s health, which can include a broad range of issues.
The reason why us, women need a different approach is that we are different. And this difference is due to our hormones, which have a much greater influence on our entire biochemistry than in men. If we want to improve our health, we can’t ignore our hormones and our hormonal cycle.
Here are some of the areas I can help with:
- Menopause
- Endometriosis, PCOS
- Blood sugar imbalance
- Infertility
- Chronic inflammation
- Slow metabolism

How does it work
You start completely free. No obligation.
First we meet for an informal and friendly chat about the reason you got in touch. We talk about you, then I share my first thoughts, answer your questions and ask you fill in an assessment form and a food diary. No charge.
Then we meet again, and discuss your results and the way forward – still no charge.
I do this because I want you to only pay for what you are absolutely happy with. 100%. No compromising. I’m offering complete transparency. You will know the outlines of how your programme will look like before you pay anything.
